Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: None.

I have a troublesome shoulder which needs rest for a while so I will be out of the game for a number of races.

Have fun tonight,

Dan

Get well soon, Dan

I probably have to miss this one too, as for the first time since I have all my machinery as
multi-boot Linux Mint/Windows (seven years?) an update of Linux Mint failed and my
gaming pc does not start anymore.

I'm quite sure that an update of the Nvidia drivers caused the issue and I'm optimistic
to get it solved, but I need some time.

Have fun guys.

These cars are something else. SO MUCH FUN, especially here at old Sachsenring. I hope more people will come.

Don't like these cars here, they may be good somewhere else, but I can't drive the Ferrari in a straight line
never mind corners. Put the car into a hay bale lap 1 and bent the steering. Was too hard to drive after that.

Collided with Clive's somersaulting car, which wrecked mine.  Impossible to drive, so quit. Shame, as Sachsenring is a favorite track for me.

Had a wheel knocked off at one corner so pitted for a new one. Then later on I became beached on an incline. Good fun tho. Grats all finishers.

BTW Clive, is this circuit in GPL land?

Grats to Dimitar and AGM they were making a mockery of my attempts to catch them and having a blast at the same time!!!.

Apologies to Erling for acrobatic incident.
The car suddenly went into a tank slapper up the hill and I just could not hold it. I though that was the end of my race, but somehow all 4 wheels landed back on the tarmac and the Aston appeared to have suffered very little damage...not that you could tell the difference with my driving  ::)
Not sure if it was just my setup, but once the tyres had only just started to wear getting on the gas was a perilous exercise but braking was fine  ???

@ Daz

Could you read this please. Sorry for the bother.

Machinery running again. Very happy.   :)

I assume that under Windows I would have had to completely rebuild the computer

Good news Kurt and thank you for the results  :thumbup1:

Tony, I downloaded the whole thing again and let it overwrite everything, should sort the issue I hope. I'll check earlier next time.

Probably not. I gave a fix in an earlier post here https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=28452.msg578771#msg578771
